Kaieteur Falls. The world's largest single drop water falls measuring
741 feet. For comparison, Kaieteur is about five times taller than Niagara
falls. The above picture is from the farthest lookout point that we
stopped at on the hike through the jungle. These falls were awe-inspiring
to say the least. I only wish these pictures could convey a fraction of
the experience of actually being there.

If you've been to San Antonio, you may recognize this tower. It is the
Tower of the Americas that is downtown. This makes for a good comparison
when I put it next to the picture of the falls. The tower is 750 feet to
the top of the antennae. That makes it only 9 feet taller than these
falls.

A close-up view of the falls from the side, including the rainbow that was
with us the whole time.

This is a view of the canyon and river just after the waterfall. Quite
an impressive site in its own right, but paled in comparison to the falls.

Another side view.

Our buddy, Kurt reflecting on the beauty of the site. Do you see how
close he is?! Notice there are no rails or any sign of civilization in any
of these pictures, besides the people themselves. The only thing around
were a few small signs that said "Please keep 8 feet away from the edge of
the cliff." I guess we don't follow rules to well!

A shot to prove that I was there. Don't I look tall?

This little guy is a Guyanese Cock-of-the-Rock. We were, apparently,
very lucky to get to see this beautiful, bright orange bird. It is a very
rare bird that only lives in the northern part of South America and does not
survive well in captivity. We were told that if we caught this bird, we
could get $25,000...and possibly 50 years in prison. We decided to stick
with pictures.
